The existence of such causes of delay or failure shall extend the period of performance until after the causes of delay or failure have been removed provided the non-performing party exercises all reasonable due diligence to perform. Force majeure is defined as acts of God, war, strike, fires, explosions, or other causes that are beyond the reasonable control of either party and that by exercise of due foresight such party could not reasonably have been expected to avoid, and which, by the exercise of all reasonable due diligence, such party is unable to overcome. Each party must inform the other in writing with proof of receipt within three (3) business days of the existence of such force majeure or otherwise waive this right as a defense.

U. Abandonment or Default: If the contractor defaults on the contract, TEA reserves the right to cancel the contract without notice and either re-solicit or re-award the contract to the next best responsive and responsible respondent. The defaulting contractor will not be considered in the re-solicitation and may not be considered in future solicitations for the same type of work, unless the specification or scope of work significantly changed. The period of suspension will be determined by the agency based on the seriousness of the default.

Excluded Parties List System: The Texas Education Agency is federally mandated to adhere to the directions provided in the President's Executive Order (EO) 13224, Executive Order on Terrorist Financing - Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism and any subsequent changes made to it via cross-referencing respondents/vendors with the Federal General Services Administration's Excluded Parties List System (EPLS, http://www.epls.gov), which is inclusive of the United States Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) Specially Designated National (SDN) list.

Subscriber shall be entitled to switch delivery of the DJ Service from one Vendor to another Vendor upon one month's prior written notice to Dow Jones.

(b) Dow Jones Feed. If the DJ Service is made available to Subscriber via the internet and/or a Dow Jones Feed, Subscriber shall pay Dow Jones' standard communications charges, the amount of which is determined based on the connectivity chosen by Subscriber and Dow Jones' standard rates, which are subject to change on 30 days' notice. Subscriber shall acquire, install, operate and maintain at Subscriber's expense all communications lines, equipment, software, services and related technology necessary to receive the DJ Service via the Dow Jones Feed and shall block access to and discard all newswires on the Dow Jones Feed other than the DJ Service.

6. Monthly Reports; Records

(a) Vendors. If the DJ Services are delivered to Subscriber by a Vendor, Subscriber agrees that Dow Jones may rely on such third-party vendor's monthly entitlement reports for billing purposes. Alternatively, Dow Jones may elect in its sole discretion to rely for billing purposes on Subscriber's submission of monthly reports as described in Subsection (c) hereof.

(b) Dow Jones Feed. If the DJ Service is made available to Subscriber via a Dow Jones Feed, upon Dow Jones' request Subscriber shall supply Dow Jones within twenty (20) days after the end of each month, monthly reports containing the information described in Subsection (c) hereof and any additional information that Dow Jones may reasonably request based on the particular commercial terms set out in the Order Form, in a form reasonably prescribed by Dow Jones and certified by an authorized representative of Subscriber.

(c) Subscriber Reports and Records. Throughout the Term, Subscriber shall maintain accurate records containing the foregoing information and the following: (i) the Office where at least one Display is located; and (ii) the total number of Displays at each Office; and (iii) the DJ Services received by Subscriber on each Display. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Subscriber shall provide Dow Jones with reasonable access to such records with seven (7) days upon request.

7. Audits and Inspections

For the purpose of verifying compliance with this Agreement, Dow Jones (and Dow Jones' authorized representatives) shall have the right, during normal business hours upon reasonable advance notice and without material disruption to Subscriber's business, to audit and inspect from time to time Subscriber's offices, books and records relevant to the DJ Service and to observe the use made of the DJ Service and the manner in which each Display accesses the DJ Service. If Dow Jones' records, audits or inspections pursuant to this Section or otherwise indicate that (i) more users are accessing the DJ Service than Subscriber has paid for or (ii) more DJ Services are being accessed than Subscriber has been billed for, or (iii) Subscriber has in any other way underpaid (the "Underpayment"), Subscriber shall promptly remit to Dow Jones the total amount of such Underpayment.

8. Mergers and Acquisitions

It is not the parties' intention that the Fees charged under this Agreement include any users, Displays or news services over which Subscriber or its successor entity assumes ownership or control through a merger, acquisition or other transaction ("Transaction"). If any such users, Displays or news services were already being licensed under separate agreement by or on behalf of Dow Jones at the time of the Transaction, they shall continue to be covered by such agreement in accordance with its terms. If any such users, Displays or news services were not already being licensed under separate agreement by or on behalf of Dow Jones at the time of the Transaction, any access by such users under this Agreement shall be subject to additional fees, which unless otherwise agreed shall be based upon Dow Jones' then-current listed prices; provided, however, that Subscriber may at any time give Dow Jones written notice requesting that different pricing be applied to such users hereunder and the parties shall thereupon enter into good faith negations over the pricing to be applied, taking into account such factors as the number of users to be added and the amount of time remaining under the existing Term following Dow Jones' receipt of Subscriber's notice. For the avoidance of doubt, the occurrence of a Transaction shall not entitle Subscriber to terminate this Agreement.

Except where specifically stated to the contrary, all remedies available to either party for breach of this Agreement under this Agreement, at law, or in equity, are cumulative and nonexclusive.

Any failure or delay by either party in the performance of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement will not be deemed a default or breach of the Agreement or a ground for termination to the extent such failure or delay is due to computer or Internet or telecommunications breakdowns, denial of service attacks, fire, flood, earthquake, elements of nature or acts of God, acts of war, terrorism, riots, civil unrest, rebellions or revolutions in the United States or any nation where the obligations under this Agreement are to be executed, strikes, supplier and third party failure, lockouts, or labor difficulties, or any similar cause beyond the reasonable control of that party.
